Woman's Sphere-as Stated by II Woman.
Woman's place is behind and within
not of repression, but of power and if
she do not fill this place it will be empty !;
she will get her rights rs she rises to them,
and her defenses where she needs them
everything that helps, defends, uplifts the
woman uplifts the man and the whole
fabric and man has begun to find 1t out
If he will give the suffrage if women
want it, as is said, why shall he not as
well give them the things that they want
suffrage for and that they are capable of
representing ? Believe me, this work
and the representation which grows out
of it, can no longer be done if We attempt
the handling of political machinery-the
making of platforms, the Judging of can
didates, the meas urlng aud disputatiou of
party plans and issues, and all the tortu-
Gus following up of public and personal
political history.
Do YOU say, men have their individual
work in the world, and all this beside and
OF it, and that therefore we may EN
actly here comes i'll again the law of the
interior. Their work is "of it'-falls in
the way They rub against it as they 90
along. Men meet each other in the bust
ness thoroughfares, at the offices and the
street corners we are in the dear depths
OF home. We are with the little ones, of
whom is not this kingdom, but the king
dom of heaven, which we, through them,
may help to have come. This is Just where
we must abandon our work. if We attempt
the doing Of theirs. And here is where
our prestige will desert us whenever a
great cause calls us to speak from ont our
secluslons, and show men, from our in
sights and our place, the occasion and de
sire that look unto their rue. They will
not listen they will remand us to the
ballot box.
Inside politics is a good word. That
is just where woman ought to be- as She
ought to be inside everything, insisting
upon and impltnting the truth and right
mat are to conquer. And she can not he
inside and outside both She can not do
the mothering and the home making, the
watching and ministry, the earning and
maintaining hold and privilege and mo
tive influence behind and through the
acts OF men-aud all the worldwide exc
cution of act beside Therefore, we say
do not give up the substance which YOU
might seize, for the shadow which you
could not hold fast if you were to seem to
grasp 1t. Work on at the foundation In
slst on truth and right put them all into
your own life taking AL the beam out o.
your own eye before acknowledgement We
will say the mote, for generostys sake
and for the holy authority of the word

Establish pure, honest lovely things
things of good rsport-in the nurseries,
the schools, the social circles where YOU
reign, and the outside worlu and issue

THE RAILROAD ATTORNEY BILL
Senator Evarts Makes IA strong Argument
AGAINST 1t

WAsHINGruN, FEB. 3.-rhe Senate to
day considered the bill to prohibit
members OF Congress from acting as
attorneys for subsidized railroad compan-

position to the bill and in favor of the
amendment proposed to be offered as Il
substitute to the bill by senator Saus-
bury. That substitute made it unlawful
for any member of Congress to accept
employment as the general counsel or
attorney or to receive payment for ser
vices as such, with the provise that it shall
no be construed ID prevent members
of Congress from appearing as such
counsel in the State or Federal courts in

was entirely uucaled tor. 1t was also I'M

heard given for it was that given by Sena

mind in regard to this matter II restless
dissat sfaCton and Il vague fear. Ne

SPRING..

The heralds of the spring are here
The blue-bird and the wren
And from the woodlands, ringing clear;
Their songs greet us again.
The frost that long has held the streams
In thraldom to his will
Unbends before the golden beams
That kiss the mountain rill.
Forth leap the waters with bound
From glens and wooded sides;
While gently, with its ripping sound,
The silver brooklet glides.
From dreamless sleep the willows wake,
And yield their fragrance sweet;
And maiden-hair and fronded brake
Spring up beneath the feet.
The wales are decked with misty sheen,
And in their changing lights
New charms appear to grace the scene
From cloud-topped mountain heights.
The air with subtle incense woos
The rosy blush Of morn;
And softly, like the dove that COOS,
Come murmurs of the dawn.
With buds and blossoms comes the Spring
Fair harbingers are they,
Whose gently opening petals bring
The breath of balmy May.

BEEcHER's MEMORY.

fhe Late Brooklyn Divines AhRept-131nd.
edDess and Lack of Self onfedeo~"
"There was one peculiar c1.4 acterls III
of Mr.. Beecher's that have not seen men,
toned in the papers," said an intimate
friend of the great preacher the other day,
to New York Tribune writer, sand this is
his occasional lack of confidence in himself.
Time and again he has told me that when
before an audience at some public meet
ing and while awaiting his turn to speak
he was often almost on the point of getting
up and going out AS listened to one
and another speaker address the meeting,'
he used to say, 4 would think, my good
ness, I never can make such speeches as
those; I'd better leave here at once.' But
when he was once on his feet all these
feelings vanished, of course, and he felt
completely at ease. He was always sub
iect to these times of self depreciation
both in and out of the pulpit. When he
first came to Brooklyn, he used to go
around the back streets just to avoid meet
ing people whom he might know. He COM
bined with his wonderful vigor and bold
girl"
OF Mr.. Beecher's Observation-Disclosures D.,
Searle, his physician, told this story:
Mrs Searle was standing at the parlor
window one day when she noticed Mr..
Beecher go up Mr.. Raymond's stoop, over
the way, and ring the tell. Before it was
answered he came down the steps and con-
tinued on his way up the street. Seeing
Mrs. Searle he crossed over and with a
smile said: "Say, can you tell me where
am going this afternoon2''
.sWhy, you are going to baptize Mr.: How
lrd's child to-day, are you mott"
ssThat's it, that's just it,' he replied,
'sbut for the life Of me couldn't recall the
fact"
"Another instance recollect," contin-
ued the doctor, ''happened at his house. I
was there at dinner. Major Pond, who was
also present, spoke about concert that
was to be held in New York that evening.
Mr.. Beecher said he would like to attend
it with him. But you can't Co., said Mrs.
Beecher to him, you have an engagement
for tonight oh, no, haven't he re.
Joined. i am free tonight, and think I'll
go over to the concert While she was
trying to convince him that he really had
some other matter on hand carriage drove
up to take him to Hoboken where he was
booked for a lecture"
In reference to Mr.. Beecher's memory,
the doctor added: "1t was marvelously
poor. About the only thing that he could
remember, he used to say, was the list Of
propositions that govern the ablative case
in Latin. These he could rattle OF like
sixty, and did 80 frequently"
